Haribo Reusable Shopping Bag

Haribo is one of the most recognizable confectionery brands globally, primarily famous for inventing the gummy bear. The brand was founded in Bonn, Germany, in 1920 by Johannes 'Hans' Riegel Sr. The name itself is an acronym for the founder and the city: HAns RIegel BOnn.

While Haribo's main identity is rooted in food production, the company produces a wide variety of merchandise, including the reusable shopping bag shown in the image, often sold at Haribo factory stores or as part of promotional gift sets.

Manufacturing for Haribo products is decentralized. The confectionery is produced in 16 factories across ten countries, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Merchandise like bags is typically sourced through third-party manufacturers in various global locations. As a family-owned business, Haribo remains under the ownership of the Riegel family, maintaining its heritage while expanding its global presence in both the sweet snacks and promotional merchandise markets.
